Overview

• Referee Craig Wrolstad said Dondrea Tillman placed a hand on the Colts’ right guard to elevate on the kick, a violation of the NFL’s leverage rule.
• The personal foul turned a missed 60-yard try into a 45-yard attempt that Spencer Shrader converted for a 29-28 Indianapolis victory on an untimed down.
• Payton said the call was correct and accepted responsibility, explaining the Broncos used an aggressive block look better suited for shorter field goals and that the interior alignment was wrong.
• Tillman told reporters he would review the film and learn from the error, while Denver players and coaches emphasized accountability for late-game execution.
• Coverage also highlighted Denver’s fourth-quarter breakdowns, including Bo Nix’s red-zone interception, a 42-yard miss by Wil Lutz, and multiple penalties, as Colts coach Shane Steichen later conceded he should have been more aggressive before the kick.
